YOu give me too much credit for craft. I was sincerely interested in the top five issues/positions as you see them. A must list, if you will. My must list is pretty short:

• Deport illegal aliens

• Secure the borders

• Nationwide shall issue and concealed carry, ie Second Amendment rights

• Universal Healthcare

• school vouchers

The "establishment repugs" have been fighting back since Reagan. In fact they fought Reagans nomination too. And they have hated and worked against conservatives ever since. Primarily led by the Bushs. Now its the Bushs, the McCaniacs and the Romneyites (in tandem with the main stream media and the DNC of course).

Any conservative that gets my vote will not be for continuing universal healthcare.

Looks like the GOP Establishment types have their own purity test. Something along the lines of:

1. Never question the 'good intentions' of Democrats.
2. Never criticise or even bring up Socialism, even when Democrats try to nationalise an entire industry such as health care or impose 'Fascism' on the auto industry.
3. Agree with the Democrat definition of 'civility' and adjust all discourse accordingly.
4. Agree with the Democrat goal of growing the size and scope of the already gargantuan Welfare State, but call a slight reduction in its growth a 'conservative' priority.
5. Never, at any cost, expose any truth about Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama, as this will only cause the R word to be hurled at you.
6. Never expose any unethical collusion between the White House and the MSM, as this might adversely effect your own media exposure.
7. Call any Republican who refuses to play along with the craven accommodation of the Democrats socialist agenda a 'wacko' or 'fringe extremist' then wait for the opposing party and the media to chime in, in agreement.
8. When in doubt, cave in. Or just 'cave in' by default anyways to be 'safe'.

The point they seem to miss is that the exact opposite of personal liberty and freedom is an EVER EXPANDING BIG GOVERNMENT LEVIATHAN. Either you believe and fight for limited government, lower taxes and fiscal responsiblity or you dont. It doesnt matter what party you belong to if you oppose these things then you need to go. Give me back the 'Reagan Democrats' any day over the current crop of spineless 'dandelions'.
